The soft close function is excellent! I just ordered the core parts of the soft close lock. I don't know what 10 pin connector is. Hermman said there is a part number about connections (61 13 8 364 520). Do I need to buy this?

The above picture shows the four door lock mechanisms with their motors and their adapters. To clarify that each door lock mechanism is connected through wires with a motor. (door lock mechanism and motor come as one part since are connected together from factory). I will give you below the part list with all parts needed. I believe if you read Hermann's (Alex) pdf carefully you will get everything you need to know for the installation. To be trully honest because i didn't have the knowledge to disassemble the car's door panels, trims and all that stuff, i have collected all the parts needed and asked from an official bmw dealer to do it for me. Because it's not an official retrofit from bmw, i had to give them every part for themselves (even the diagram from WDS and the DIY.pdf retrofit from my good friend Alex)

I made some confusing. My car is RHD car. So which one is correct for the driver door(right hand door)?
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 7 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk ?
or
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 8 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk ?
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 7 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk ?
or
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 8 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk ?
Finally finished successfully SCA retrofit for my 2004 E60. There was a lot of work, but certainly worth the effort.
The pictures are not very explanatory, but I'll try to give a little explanation of what was done. Feel free for any questions!
Driver door:
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 7 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk
- Connect to the existing ground, pin 30
Passenger:
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 8 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk
- Connect to the existing ground, pin 30
Left rear door:
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 7 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk
- Pin 30 (connected to the ground point in the trunk)
Right rear door:
+ Pin 31 connected to pin 8 of the black 10-pin connector in the trunk
- Pin 30 (connected to the ground point in the trunk)
